It’s about not being able to do one thing… without getting distracted and starting over another thing.
I just discovered that I had left an e-mail I was writing to Oso, because I had gotten distracted suddenly visiting Seyd and I decided to leave a reply at one of his posts. That reply involved searching for ‘“cheeseburgers without cheese”… I ended up reading this article, and this other article.
After reading at the second article about a guy’s sister that had been told to look for ‘dehydrated water’, I remembered I had to set a privacy level for a pic I had at Flickr of my sister flipping the finger at the camera.
I also checked out some recent pics by my Flickr contacts and friends. Also, had to leave a comment.
Then, I surfed Newgrounds, and remembered to finish the darned e-mail… then I decided to post this before finishing the e-mail.
I’m having one of those “rolandog has a short attention span” days. Hmm, coincidentally, I started watching TV after a year or so again, that explains it all.
Well, I’m glad I got that through. Now I can finally say…
Hmm..when I am writing, I lose my train of thought. Amtrack…derailed and all that. Normally, my problem is that I have a one track mind and cannot get my mind off this one thing to do even the most mundane tasks. Therefore, I am thinking about this one thing and forget where my keys are, where I put my wallet, to respond to emails or schedule appointments. I would like to be able to multi-task without forgetting crap, but no such luck.
Your grass is definately greener.
es la factura por los excesos del pasado, yo no recuerdo que chingados hice hace 1 hora y me esta fallando repinche la memoria
It hurts to be so easily forgotten. JK.
Welcome to our generation. I feel strange when I’m not doing 5 things at once.
Hmm, so you guys are telling me that crappy multitasking and daydreaming are not necessarily a unique problem?
I’ve often wondered why don’t we humans all agree to stop pushing ourselves too hard, and start taking a more humane approach to working/living.
But, I think that will always remain just a dream.
I always feel as if I expect too much of myself, therefore, I end up doing worse at whatever the task is, than if I would have slowed down and not tried to do everything at once. I am an approval addict.
